COMBINATION COMB AND MIRROR GASE.

Application filed November 8, 1926. Serial No. 147,172.

This invention relates to a combination comb and mirror case.

Objects of this invention are to provide a combined comb and mirror case which will effectively hold a. mirror in place, and to provide a pocket for the reception of a small comb so that the entire outfit may be carried in a vest pocket, for instance. v

Further objects are to provide a device of the above type which may be very cheaply manufactured, which does not require gluing, stitching, stapling or other attachment of this general nature.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a view of the device with the comb in place, parts being broken away.

Figure 2 is a view of the reverse side from that shown in Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.

The device comprises a pair of elongated members 1 and 2 which may be of imitation leather or other suitable material preferably of a semi-flexible nature. These members receive a comb 3 between them, as indicated in Figure 1. They are held together by means of a metal member which is positioned on the face of one of the members, for instance the member 1. This member comprises a raised, as indicated at 5, and is provided with a rectangular cutout 6. A small mirror 7 is positioned behind this cutout and is enclosed by the raised portion 5. The rear and marginal edges oi? the memher 4 are folded over the marginal edges of the members 1 and 2, as most clearly shown in Figures 2 and 3, and are rolled or beaded about such edges, as indicated at 8. This beaded edge or folded edge is pressed inwardly to compress the marginal edges of the members 1 and 2 and thus securely lock such edges together. It is to be noted that a very lirm joint is secured at these edges not only by the gripping oi"? the beaded portion or folded portion 8, but also due to the fact that the marginal members are joined by the body portion 1 which prevents sliding of these edges apart and which acts as a web to tie the edges together.

It will be seen, therefore, that a combined mirror and comb case has been provided body portion 4 which is slightly which is of extremely simple and cheap construction, which may be very readily produced by simple methods, and. which is oi attractive and pleasing zmpearance and devoid of sl irp corners or irregular portions.

Although the invention has been described in considerable detail, it is to be understood that the invention may be variously em bodied and is, therefore, to be limited only as claimed.

I claim:

1. A combined comb and mirror case comprising a pair of sheet members, a rigid member positioned exteriorly of, and extending across one of said sheet members and having a beaded edge folded over the overlapping edges of said first, mentioned members.

2. A. combination comb and mirror case comprising a pair of members positioned one above the other, a rigid member positioned across the outer face of one of said first mentioned members, and having marginal edges folded over the edges of said first mentioned members, said rigid member having a cutout in its body portion, and a mirror positioned behind said cutout and held in placev by said rigid member.

3. A combined pocket mirror and comb case comprising a pair of superimposed members adapted to receive a comb between them, a rigid member positioned over the face oi one of said first mentioned members and having a rolled continuous edge extending along the n'ia-rgins and rear edge of said first mentioned members and folded thereover into binding engagement therewith, said rigid member having a raised portion and having a cutout in its raised portion. and a mirror positioned between said rigid member and the adjacent one of said first mentioned members, said mirror being received beneath said raised portion.

d. A combined pocket mirror and comb case comprising a pair of superimposed semifiexible sheets adapted to receive a comb between them, a rigid plate-like member positioned across one of said sheets, said sheets and said rigid plate-like member having rounded corners, said plate like memher being wider than said semi-flexible sheets and having its marginal edge beaded raised portion and visible through said outout.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand 'at Manitowoc.

in the county of Manitowoc and State of Wisconsin.
